How shared experiences feel closer

There’s something magical about exploring Iceland’s rugged coastlines, dramatic waterfalls and hidden hot springs with friends or family. Shared adventures forge stronger bonds, turning every selfie, every laugh around the campfire and every awe-inspiring view into a cherished memory.

Why Shared Moments Matter

When you’re hiking together towards Dynjandi waterfall or soaking in a geothermal pool under the midnight sun, you’re not just ticking off a checklist. You’re creating stories you’ll laugh about for years. Celebrating that perfect Icelandic sunset over Breiðafjörður at The Stykkishólmur Inn feels all the more special when you’ve experienced it side by side.

Top Activities to Enjoy Together

• Glacier hiking on Langjökull – marvel at blue ice caves hand in hand.
• Whale watching from Ísafjörður – spot playful pods off the Westfjords coast.
• Horseback riding in Borgarfjörður – bond as you pamper Icelandic horses.
• Hot spring dips near Hvítá – warm up after a brisk walk along the river.
• Kayaking through fjords – perfect for small groups seeking a challenge.

When to Go

Summer (June–August) offers long daylight hours and vibrant green landscapes—ideal for active groups.
Winter (November–March) brings the Northern Lights and quiet, snow-blanketed valleys—perfect for cozy evenings and private Aurora hunts.

What to Pack

• Layered clothing: moisture-wicking base layers, fleece mid-layers, waterproof shell.
• Sturdy hiking boots and warm socks.
• Swimsuit for hot springs.
• Packable raincoat and gloves.
• Reusable water bottle and waterproof backpack.
• Camera or smartphone with extra batteries.

How Long to Stay

Plan on at least 5–7 days to soak in each region’s highlights without rushing. That gives you time to unwind, connect and truly savor every waterfall, fjord and geothermal pool.

Where to Rest Your Heads

For a riverside retreat, Truck Inn at Hvítá offers comfortable rooms and hearty breakfasts right by the white-water rapids. When you want to explore coastal villages, The Stykkishólmur Inn on Snæfellsnes Peninsula is your gateway to puffin colonies and lava fields.
